Burglars steal money from Shrewsbury's Abbey Church
Burglars twice helped themselves to cash from a Shrewsbury church after stealing an ancient-looking key.
Police in Shrewsbury are appealing for information following a burglary at the town's Abbey Church on Abbey Foregate.
The first burglary took place between 6pm on Friday and 10am on Saturday.
It is believed that unknown offenders found a medieval-style key and entered the church, where they stole an amount of money. They then left the scene, taking the key with them.
They returned overnight on Monday into Tuesday where they, once again made off with an amount of money.
Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed either of these burglaries, or who may have seen any suspicious activity, including vehicles, in the area at the time.
Anyone with information, or who happens to come across the medieval-style key, should contact West Mercia Police on 101, quoting incident 313S of 8 July.
